Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I owned a johnson 50 hp 2 stroke motor for a few years before upgrading boats. mine was a 1999 model, and the only 2 cylinder model by that time, but had more displacement than the 3 cylinder yamaha's. The gear ratio of the 50 was 2.42:1 which made it a bull...very strong motor!! Bulletproof if you ask me.. The same block for the 50 hp has been used since the middle 70's.
Lots of those out there to choose from. I wouldn't hesitate on one of those for a good deal.
